A Conversation In Song Titles

[midwinter]

A friend of mine and I used to play a game where we had a conversation only using song titles (we used to play an easier one where we only spoke in bits of lyrics, but that'll serve for a later project).

Shall we?

Please provide the song title and, after, the artist and album.

I'll start with a question:

I'll Be Creepin'

[crazychester]

"Slip, Sliding Away." (Paul Simon)

Time Out! Time Out!

[crazychester]

I think we can do better people than 2 - 3 post sentences. You can to try to either build on the previous post's idea and/or give the next poster somewhere to go. But ending sentences without adding to the previous poster's ideas is a wimp. Not allowed.

eg. "Creepin' Up Slowly" followed by "I'll Be creeping". dmz you ended the sentence when you could have gone on with just about any idea from there. But you started the next sentence by restating what we already know - namely that there's some creeping going on.

Don't get all sulky on me. You're not the only one. There are others who aren't trying their hardest. Anybody can create two phrase disjointed sentences. We're better than that and we're up to the challenge. Let's go get 'em!

Everybody shout YEAH! in a highly motivated voice and punch the air now.

Right back to it.

Slip, Sliding, Away. (Paul Simon)

geez Shawn - just take your ball and go home, why don'tcha

:rolleyes:

[FormerLurker]

Grow the fuck up, Shawn.

You've been making "sucky word association" posts of your own since the first page of the thread:

"Don't let me be lonely tonight" (James Taylor, One Man Dog)

"Hey tonight" -(CCR Greatest Hits)

Either keep you smug self-righteous criticisms of other's posts to yourself, or confine them to PMs.

This will be my last response in this thread to your constant bullshit.

Anyone got any cheese for Shawn to go with his whine?

Let Us Go Laughing -Bruce Cockburn

[FormerLurker]

Yes, well, let's try to keep this thread in the spirit of CC's post which said it better than I ever could.

:)

I'll try to do my part.

And actually I'm wrong about the radiators-- they have so many songs!

OK, peace it is.
:D

I'll admit I'm cheating a bit when it comes to the Rads, as about 500 of the songs listed in their setlist database are originals, & over 1000 are covers.

I'm using both.
;)

I just couldn't resist, after midwinter's post:

Never Die Young (James Taylor)*

--

* I wonder if I could do this game with *just* JT songs?

If you look at some of my links, the setlist page has a button that links to any recordings. If the button says "Download/Listen" then there will be streaming MP3s there, and you can listen to (or download) individual songs (or the whole show) for free.

"We're All In This Together" (Ben Lee)

Well done dmz! Now you've got it. Go look in a mirror while giving yourself a positive affirmation.

That went well didn't it? :err: :no: :grumble:

I turn my back for 10 hours and look what they've done to my song, ma. What's so funny about peace, love and understanding? Shawn please don't drag me into spats in my absence. You were being a prat about it which is why I phrased my comments as I did.

It was obvious FL had picked up on midwinter's idea. No it doesn't always make for the best replies but he's the only one doing it, we all know he's obsessed with The Radiators and such eccentricities in threads is something we do well. Or did. FL stop baiting him.

Now I'm going to give the next poster a nice fresh opening comment and we're going to forget this unpleasantness ever happened. OK? :mad: :p
